Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have the time and space to look at our lives…
…and the people we share them with. I’ve spent well over half my life with Thom.
He is such a good sport…and pretty darn cute too.
He has put up with all my quirks, neuroses and annoying habits all these years…
…which is probably a little like being married to Lucy Ricardo.
Come to think of it, he’s always quick to jump on board the family bandwagon.
But he is a calm voice on whom the kids and I can depend for a fresh perspective.
Such a gentle and compassionate soul.
He is my playmate…
…my safe harbor…
…the father of my children…and it shows.
And in this world of uncertainty…
…the kids and I know he is always there to catch us should we fall.
We would follow him anywhere.
Anywhere!
And that means anywhere!
My friend.
My love.
My prince.
Dear Thom, here’s wishing you a Happy Birthday, and many more!
